This is PopApostle's study of the Snake
Plissken movies and comic books. I have chosen to call these studies the Snake
Plissken Chronicles, borrowing the title of the comic book mini-series published
by Crossgen Entertainment in 2003, as I like the sound of it. Here, I am presenting my studies relating to
each, such as commentary on the weapons and equipment used by the characters,
sound bits of memorable
dialog, screen grabs and my own musings.

Even though there are no TV episodes featuring Snake Plissken at this time,
I am continuing to use the
term "episode" here as I have elsewhere on PopApostle, as a separable piece in the
continuous narrative of a larger story.
